Sleep
I've been getting about 6 and a half hours of sleep each night. I go to bed at 10:30 PM and get up at 5AM. I can tell that isn't enough, 'cause I run out of energy before I run out of hours in the day. I could easily go to bed right now. When my head hits the pillow, it takes less than five minutes for me to slide into slumber.
I've been having dreams. I wish I could remember them. I wake up in the dark, listening to the naughty cat scratching the carpet, hoping to get me to chase him downstairs to his food bowl, and I have a vague memory of shadowy men in a dark room with concrete walls, sitting around a dark wooden table. One says something portentous to another, and I just can't quite hear it.
My life is so sweet and placid. I almost miss the icy flash of fear coursing through my veins. Or anger. My life is so easy, all day, every day. And every now and then there is a thrill of pure joy.
But then there are these dark dreams.
